2D Multi-Client surveys Offshore South America

Seismic services provider Spectrum and Hamilton Group's E&P Technology Group (EPTG) are planning 2D Multi-Client surveys and basin analyses offshore South America combining Spectrum's multi-client survey expertise with basin analyses conducted by the Hamilton EPTG team, headed by Michael Hiner.
Charles Harmer, Spectrum's Executive Vice President of Multi-Client Services, stated: "Hamilton's basin analysis expertise, especially in offshore basins, will help ensure that we have the most effective data for our clients, giving them the ability to accelerate their interpretation by utilizing Hamilton's basin studies."
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
